Nurse Marcie’s Island

by Arlene Hale, 1964

Heart adrift on a sea of romance.

Returning home to Barr Island to practice nursing, Marcie Roberts, R.N., dreamed happily of the sunny, lazy island, the joy of being with Pop again, and the pleasure of working as old Dr. John’s office nurse.

But before the end of her first day, Marcie realized that everything had changed. Pop had become a strangely embittered man, and kindly Dr. John was gone. In his place, was the aloof Dr. Ainsworth — handsome, cold and brusque. Marcie knew her job represented a challenge to herself — as a nurse, and as a woman.
